With limited fiscal space and institutional capacity to deliver public goods, the analysis focuses on cross-cutting and sectoral constraints, proposing policies and regulatory reforms to enable private investment with strong development impact.

We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities in developing countries.

Since 2012, the country has made sustained political and institutional progress, which has enabled a path of reconstruction and a certain regularization of political processes after many decades of state collapse. However, it is unlikely that these developments will take root unless more inclusive dividends can be generated for the Somali population, in a context of insufficient economic opportunities and extreme levels of vulnerability. Because the Federal Government of Somalia’s (FGS’s) fiscal space and institutional capacity to deliver public goods and services are limited, marshaling the private sector for development outcomes is crucial. Thus, there is an urgent need for a diagnostic that explores the most viable path toward the type of broad-based private sector–led growth that would help Somalia move away from its current predicament. To this end, and in line with the established World Bank CPSD methodology, this report provides an impartial assessment of the state of the private sector, analyzes cross-cutting and sectoral constraints to private sector development, recommends policies and reforms to mitigate these constraints, and identifies opportunities for increased private sector engagement in the country.  \nThe analysis and recommendations of the CPSD will inform Somalia’s reform agenda despite the scarcity of information in the country. Somalia is highly data deprived, and knowledge of how Somali economic life is organized remains limited, given the scarcity of trustworthy countrywide statistics.1 However, through expert and key informant interviews, a secondary literature review, and qualitative data collection, it is possible to make some directional conclusions about the state of the Somali private sector and present a policy agenda that could help catalyze inclusive private sector growth and the creation of more and better jobs for Somalia’s rapidly growing population.
